Your Rock Band victory for the week...!

Comments

I coulda swore there as an accomplishments thread on here, but I'm having trouble finding it. So guess I'll just post this thing I'm very proud of here:

With this, I have 5-starred every song in my RB4 library on Expert guitar. I was gonna go to bed, but decided "Eh, f*** it, let's try Dream Genie again," and after exhausting myself down-strumming the majority of the song (when using a Jaguar, I tend to keep rhythm better when down-strumming since I can hear some sort of sound with it), got five stars!

@AndyTheIndigoer Whilst it may not be particularly difficult to cheaply get the 900+ rating achievement, surely it takes some skill to consistently maintain a 900+ rating, over hundreds of songs?

I actually agree that skill's pretty valid if gotten through talent over a large library. Those who post 900+ and have done hundreds/thousands of songs deserve to have a higher rating than me.

HMX should really be taking a balance between # of songs completed and assigned skill. As in, need to complete MOAR songs before getting our little skill badges. Until then, skill means nothing by itself, because I could easily be rated 950+ if I took the best 100 out of my 450+ songs. And that cheapens genuinely epic ratings like yours.

I'm not sure why I'm so happy that I finally got gold on 'Sound of Silence' on X-pro drums..but I am!!! (couldn't break myself from what, I thought, was the best OD path... it wasn't ) and dayum there's some crazy accomplishments from a lot of you! Good Job everyone!

My forecast achievement will be flying across the country to San Francisco for a conference about extreme scientific data dorkage. With my Xbox and Strat controller.

ET Update: So sad, achievement failed.

Unpacking my trunk at the airport before leaving, I realized that it wouldn't be fun to take a long walk up a steep hill from the train station to my hotel room all while dragging my laptop, full size suitcase + business suit, poster tube, *and* the XBone, which required its own 21" rollaboard -- Sad result, Xbox left behind.

I managed to FINALLY five-star Metropolis on Expert Guitar! I barely managed to get that fifth star complete at the end of the BRE but it felt so good lol - I made a point to play all my songs in guitar (around 470 in total) and only got around 870 skill point so I am not that good with it.I actually think it's my first five-star devil-tier song!

Became the first to FC Walk the Moon's "Different Colors" on pro drums, according to the leaderboards. It only took me like three tries, and I'm baffled that no one's done this yet since it's been out since late 2015.

Finally got around to finishing all of the second batch of Rock Band Rivals free songs, and was somehow able to 100% every instrument on every song. I guess that may be partially because there's no "Hour of Rats" or "Black Corridor" in this batch, and I found everything fairly doable. Plus, no song got devils on anything, making for an overall easier batch of songs compared to the first batch.

Made the 2 hour drive to Hamilton Ontario to see ANVIL (for like the 20th time.) Snagged a pair of Vic Firth freshly autographed Robb Reiner drumsticks. Came home, and after 3 attempts finally FC'd Metal on Metal.
